Monday open thread: Does the NFL need to change its overtime rules?

It happened again.

What was an amazing back-and-forth game between two teams absolutely worthy of Super Bowl contention ended up being decided by one of the league’s most controversial rules.

As the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs headed into overtime, after both teams scored in the final two minutes of regulation, it all came down to a coin flip. The Patriots won the toss, and then proceeded to drive all the way down to win the game. Patrick Mahomes sat helplessly on the sideline, as the Chiefs were unable to use the strength of their team in the extra quarter, while the Patriots flaunted theirs all the way to the Super Bowl.
